I don't want to ask the assistant a fucking question – why would I want to ask the fucking assistant a fucking question, I'm very obviously WhatsApping my fucking wife for fucks sake, when will this shit fucking END, get out of my fucking sight, sorry for swearing

Honestly, these things are the worst kind of weakeners / energy vampires, reminiscent of the most irritating people you could ever wish to meet, all up in your face and poking you in the chest and demanding your attention, the people who make them must surely know this

"If you don't like it, don't use WhatsApp" – Lord save me from tech purists who would rather detail the merits of Signal than actually communicate with their family

@rhodri.biz @MikeFromLFE I wonder if Signal has an app small enough yet to run on my phone without closing / freezing almost everything else, including my health monitor.

@mjr @rhodri.biz @MikeFromLFE i run Signal in a 4-year old cheap phone without any issue and even low consumption despite i use it for most of my voice calls at my phone

@antoniovr @rhodri.biz @MikeFromLFE interesting. I have questions if you would be so kind. Which phone or spec? Are you using org.thoughtcrime.securesms or another app? Is it less than 100MB? TIA

@mjr regarding signal i use the official version of it (either through Guardian Fdroid or google play it has the same name as yours and it weights 162 Mb) and Molly (for another signal account). I use a Xiaomi Poco X4 Pro. I have checked battery consumption in the last 8h and it is quite low(even phone app is greater)

What do you use for notification?There could be the difference...As i have and android mobile so far i am using official notification system(but not showing there the messages)

@rhodri.biz Lord save me from flimsy collaborators who happily use tools that damage individuals and our society at large.

@rhodri.biz
At least in the web version you can block these bits individually as if they were ads!
The one really good thing about the web as a platform, imho

@rhodri.biz Ask him to shut itself down 😅

Meta AI, a virtual assistant integrated directly into Meta's social platforms like WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger stating, "You can ask the assistant a question".

Don't be sorry for swearing.

@rhodri.biz As soon as you stop using fucking Whatsapp. It's THAT easy.
You'd also buy a new car if your old annoyed you more and more. It wouldn't even cost anything if you'd switch to any non-enshittificated messenger :)

@rhodri.biz this one comes in handy.

@rhodri.biz
Have you considered asking the assistant how to get rid of it permanently?
